Russian cyclist of the BORA‑Hansgrohe team Alexander Vlasov said he feels more comfortable when his opponent is in the spotlight and he is not.
Vlasov will be the team captain for the Giro d’Italia, which will take place in May. Belgian Remco Evenepoel of Soudal Quick‑Step is considered one of the favorites in the stage race.
— During the media day, you were asked several questions about Evenepul. Now the story with him until May in all Belgian media will win or not.
– I’m resting. Whoever is stronger always wins,” Vlasov told .
– Well, when the pressure is on the opponent, and not on you?
– I think so too. Let all the attention be on him. Maybe they will forget me.
– You were in the top 5 of the Tour. Have you ever learned how to handle such attention?
– I think so. In the end, it’s all about the legs anyway.
